Swedish as a Foreign Language

Our distance courses in the Swedish Language are available in seven different levels, from beginner to advanced level. The levels correspond to the Council of Europe Language Scale levels A1 to C1.

The courses use the study material 'På Svenska' and are taught on an online platform. This material is widely used in intensive Swedish courses in Sweden and other countries.

For Distance Courses 1 and 2, the study book is available in Arabic, English, French, German, and Spanish. The authors, who are ISU Program instructors, will guide you throughout the course.

Each course has 15 lessons and equals about 60 classroom hours. You meet your teacher on Skype at times you both agree on. The amount of Skype hours per course vary from course to course. You complete each lesson by sending in a written task, and your teacher gives you personal feedback.

You practice listening and pronunciation with the course audio material. There are also extra self-check exercises, discussion forums with other students, and useful links to Swedish websites. Instructions are available in both Swedish and English for the first course. From Course 2, most instructions are in Swedish.
